Summary:
The city of Ellisville, Missouri is home to three high-performing schools: two elementary schools (Ellisville Elementary and Ridge Meadows Elementary) and one middle school (Crestview Middle). These schools are part of the Rockwood R-VI school district, which is ranked 22nd out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the three Ellisville schools, Crestview Middle stands out as the top performer. Ranked 11th out of 451 Missouri middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year, Crestview Middle has consistently been in the state's top 30 middle schools over the past three years. Its students significantly outperform the state and district averages on MAP testing across all grade levels and subject areas, with 73.1% of 8th graders proficient or better in ELA compared to 63.7% for the Rockwood R-VI district and 42.1% statewide.
While the two elementary schools also perform well, they do not quite reach the same level of excellence as Crestview Middle. All three Ellisville schools have seen a decline in their statewide rankings and SchoolDigger star ratings over the past three years, though they still remain high-performing. The schools also have relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.2% at Crestview Middle to 17.6% at Ellisville Elementary. However, there are still opportunities for improvement, such as addressing the lag in 5th grade math proficiency at the elementary schools compared to district and state averages.
